Compare the atomic sizes of sodium and magnesium. Explain. ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
mihalych1998 [28]2 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Sodium atom is larger than Magnesium atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Looking at the electronic configurations of Sodium and Magnesium:

_{11}Na: 1s^2 2s^2 p^6 3s^1\\\\_{12}Mg : 1s^2 2s^2 p^6 3s^2 ,

we can see that they both have their valence electrons in the 3rd shell.

But because Magnesium has a higher nuclear charge of +12 because of its 12 protons than that of Sodium's +11, the nucleus of Magnesium attracts its outer electrons more strongly than Sodium does. This makes the Magnesium atom smaller.

 Consider a bathtub filled with water, with a plug in the drain. How long would this be considered a closed system?
Monica [59]
For a closed system, you need two things:
1) a conservation of mass within the boundaries of the system
2) the ability to freely exchange energy to & from the "closed" system with a surrounding external system


So, the answer is <u><em>never</em></u>, since your defining the "system" as the water within the bathtub, and an open bathtub is exposed to evaporation, which is not conserving mass within the defined "system".

For each of the following balanced oxidation-reduction reactions, (i) identify the oxidation numbers for all the elements in the
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<h3>1. 10 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

I₂O₅(s): I (5+); O(2-)

CO(g): C(2+); O(2-)

I₂(s): I(0)

CO₂(g): C(4+); O(2-)

<h3>2. 4 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

Hg²⁺(aq): Hg(2+)

N₂H₄(aq): N(2-); H(1+)

Hg(l): Hg(0)

N₂(g): N(0)

H⁺(aq): H(1+)

<h3>3. 6 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

H₂S(aq): H(1+); S(2-)

H⁺(aq): H(1+)

NO₃⁻(aq): N(5+); O(2-)

S(s): S(0)

NO(g): N(2+); O(2-)

H₂O(l): H(1+); O(2-)

Explanation:

In order to state the total number of electrons transferred we have to identify both half-reactions for each redox reaction.

1.  I₂O₅(s) + 5 CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5 CO₂(g)

Oxidation: 10 e⁻ + 10 H⁺(aq) + I₂O₅(s) → I₂(s) + 5 H₂O(l)

Reduction: 5 H₂O(l) + 5 CO(g) → 5 CO₂(g) + 10 H⁺(aq) + 10 e⁻

2. 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + N₂H₄(aq) → 2 Hg(l) + N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq)

Oxidation: N₂H₄(aq) → N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻

Reduction: 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 Hg(l)

3. 3 H₂S(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) → 3 S(s) + 2 NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)

Oxidation: 3 H₂S(aq) → 3 S(s) + 6 H⁺(aq) + 6 e⁻

Reduction: 8 H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 6 e⁻ → 2 NO(g) + 4 H₂O

Write the full symbol for the isotope of oxygen having 8 neutrons.​
Helen [10]

Answer:

Isotopes are forms of a chemical element that have the same atomic number but differ in mass. 16O → 8 protons + 8 neutrons; a “light” oxygen); The relative amounts are expressed as either 18O/16O or δ 18O Oxygen - 18 (aka 18O → 8 protons + 10 neutrons; a “heavy” oxygen).
